Super Boxing League, India's first professional boxing league commenced in the capital this 7 July. The inaugural match was between Delhi Gladiators and Haryana Warriors on Friday, 7 July 2017.

To support the Delhi team, co-owner and actor Sushant Singh Rajput was seen cheering for his team. The Bollywood ace was also seen interacting with two-time world champion professional boxer, Amir Khan and CEO & Founder of SBL, Bill Dosanjh.

Sushant Singh Rajput was overjoyed on the very first victory of the SBL for his team as they beat the Haryana Warriors 12-6, after which he was seen congratulating his team.

The first fight weekend saw even bigger names attend the Super Boxing League as veteran actor Suniel Shetty was present to support his team Bahubali Boxers on Sunday night.

Even though his team could not start their league campaign with a win, it was just one Knock Out victory, which was the eventual deciding factor between the two teams. The actor was rather disheartened with the loss but encouraged his team for the upcoming matches.

Actress Daisy Shah was also spotted at the venue as she was supporting the North East Tigers. She was elated with joy when she saw Tigers' captain Asha Roka, knock out her opponent inside just a minute, which proved to be the difference between the two teams on the night.

Faryal Makhdoom, wife of star boxer Amir Khan, was present on all the three fight nights throughout the weekend as she looked in high spirits, supporting the Super Boxing League.
